HE KEEP H1a VOW.
The Story Of Confederate Soldier and
A Florida Maiden.

1t is related that during the civil
war a private soldier of the Twenti-
eth Tennessee regiment was captur-
ed and sent with other confederates
to a northern prison. The prison
fare was rough, the discipline Sc
we're and the weather bitter cold.
The boys in grey suffered death a
thousand times over, and this partic-
ular soldier of whom we write made
a solemn vow that if he lived to get
out of that prison and back into Dixie
he would kiss the first Southern girl
he CHANGED to meet after crossing
Mason and Dixon's line. After many
miserable months spent in the prison
he was sent on to be exchanged.
When at last he was free he struck
Southern soil in Florida.
Passing through a little town, rag
ged, dirty, and almost barefoot, he
suddenly came face to face with a
beautiful maiden over whose head
not more than nineteen summers had
passed. The soldier almost lost heart
as he gazed upon the lovely girl be-
fore him, but remembering his vow
he approached her, made known to
her the purport Of his oath in prison.
The maiden spoke not a word, and
with true gallantry the confederate
imprinted a respectful kiss upon her
snow-white brow.
1t would perhaps add largely to
the romance II it could be thruthful-
ly stated that in after years the brave
soldier and modest maiden were mar
ried, but it was not so. The soldier
is now q prosperous merchant in
Nashville, and in his pleasant home
he has a loving wife and several in
teresting ~children-but his wife is not
the lovely girl he kissed in Florida.

If a man goes into a business transac-
ton that he dare not tell his wife of,
you may depend that he is on the
way to bankruptcy or moral ruin.
There may be some things that he
